Chuck Moffet, Lea Johnson, Sally Moffet at the SSO Commedia concert


Chuck & Sally Moffet flank Lea Johnson

Fun-loving supporters of the Shreveport Symphony Orchestra like Chuck & Sally Moffet and Lea & Melvin Johnson were jazzed by the 20th century pieces performed at the concert March 19.

Conductor Arthur Post made a positive impression as he walked the audience through Bolcom's Commedia, which was sometimes dissonant. Post illuminated his discussion with excerpts played by various sections of the orchestra. And the audience distinguished itself as thoughtful listeners when the concerto flipped from atonal to a sweet passage: widespread laughter erupted.
